Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Richfield

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Richfield, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Washington County average of 3.9 and below the Wisconsin statewide average of 4.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 0th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

In CDC survey modeling, about 5.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 3.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
